Hello all. Supergamer here.

So I know that killthequeen, knightlite and I have been kicking around the idea of doing a tournament for this group. Every time we decide to try, however, we end up not following through, mostly because a lot of people do not want to use their one tournament at a time rule on us (please excuse my grammar and such. I'm tired right now.) So, I've asked knightlite if we could try this. It's a tournament that is played through the forum. I am not the guy that came up with the idea for this, but I figured we could try it and see how it goes. Here are the rules:

1. Everyone who joins will be in level 1 at the beginning.
2. Everyone can challenge one game against an available player in the same level or in the level one above. The game name is "Central Command Pyramid Tournament."
3. One player can only challenge one game (in random color). One player can only accept one challenge. So one player at most can have 2 Pyramid Tournament games.
4. After the game has ended, post the result here in this thread. The winner will go up one level. The loser will go down one level, or keep in level 1. (See the exception in red.) The draw game will not change anything. If the winner is more than one level higher than the opponent, then there will be no change.
5. Games can be whatever time you want, depending on the agreement between the players. (Let's be friendly. )
6. To join the tournament, post here in this thread. You should also post here when you challenge someone to a game or have accepted a pyramid challenge.
7. Once a player gets to level 10 they are the winner of the pyramid tournament

So, let me know who wants to give this a try. If you have any questions, please post in this forum. Have fun!

I will try it supergamer. How do I challange?

I'll try it. Anyone want a game?

(And this is a great idea by the way. the only thingis is level 10 a bit high?)

Ok, here is the list of players currently in the tournament. It also shows what level the player is currently in. These are the people you can challenge. Post in this forum that you would like to play a game, and if both players agree, then the game is on! Once the game is done, please post here (with the link) so I can see who won. That way I can update this list. One last thing. Killthequeen, 10 levels may be to high. Should we try for 5, and if people want to keep it going, we will continue it? Thanks for the advice!
